Poke Burrito Oak Park

Moving my reviews over from Yelp. Originally published 2/2020: Good Poke place. The space is small so you're going to fill out an order sheet instead of looking at everything and pointing to what you want. They will prepare it in the back and bring you a finished product so there's no opportunity to say "that looks good, can I have a little more" or "I think I'll pass on X" once you see it. They have a bunch of pre-configured options on their menu or you can build your own...which is generally my preference. I found the ingredients to all be fresh, taste the way they should and of a high enough quality that I had no qualms about throwing back some raw fish. Portion size/price was relatively consistent with past Poke experiences too. I went with a bowl instead of a burrito as I prefer to pick my way through the ingredients rather than mix it all up. Also, I believe I am significantly less likely to wear my meal if I eat it with chopsticks - an important consideration in the middle of the work day. Good stuff!

Fresh, quick & tasty! There was a lot of rice to protein ratio but all the ingredients were very fresh in my salmon poke bowl. Also got the boba milk tea which was not very sweet. It was pretty empty on a Saturday night but I think most people got take out

First timer. Ordered take out. Good was ready in half the time. Easy pick up. Great quantity of food for the money. I had the make your own bowl and it was amazing, fresh, and tasty. We will definitely be a repeat customer.

Large portions.. refreshing.. delish! Quick service. I ordered the regular bowl, ate half for lunch and half for dinner. Great for 3 meals.. shareable. So great, will definitely be back! Also tried the Fruit Tea with jelly - mango flavored.. so yummy!

ordered a Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl and added salmon as an extra protein. There was no tuna and 8 pieces of salmon? The quality of the food wasn’t there and just LOOK at the avocado. Ridiculous. I paid $21 for this? I didn’t want to make the drive to Des Plaines to for a Poke Bowl from my favorite restaurant but I’ll just make the trip next time. When I entered a young, curly headed boy approached the register. No greeting, no smile, clearly didn’t want to be there. I told him I was picking up and he just handed me a bag. I said thank you and told him to have a nice day and he simply said “mhm”. After writing the initial review, I continued to eat the bowl when I bit into a fish bone.

Ordered from Poke Burrito quite a lot. Sad that they have raised their prices and for $5 per bowl limited change to the quantity of food you get. Also, my order has stayed the same from first order to now and you can see a difference in attention to detail in providing what you order online. Generally good food but poor customer service (ie not telling you things you ordered won’t be in your bowl) and poor presentation (ie bowl ordered today was barely full).

I love that I can make my own poke here. The poke is fresh, delicious, offers many options from tofu, shrimp, tuna, salmon, crab, etc. I got a medium bowl for $11, worth the money for quality but doesn't fill me up. The staff is nice and caring, takes them like 10 mins to finish the order. The only thing I don't like is the milk tea, it doesn't taste that good and you cannot choose your own toppings for classic milk tea.

I got the spicy tuna poke bowl and added salmon. Each ingredient in the poke bowl was very fresh. The bowl was very filling and delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Yum yum yum :p Picked up food to go --service was quick and food was fresh. Tried Jimmy's creation bowl with extra tuna and Hawaiian classic bowl. Both were very flavorful. Seemed a bit pricier at $20 a bowl, but guess that's inflation. Will definitely be back to try more!

Went in on a Tuesday, wasn't busy. Made my own poke burrito and it was just ok for me. Wasn't anything too fancy for me. Boyfriend got a poke bowl and thought the same. Might be able to give it another chance next time we visit

My first try of this restaurant looking for good Poke bowl ( Build Your Own Bowl ). I have to say this is better than Poke Bros. my former favorite place. I must say that this restaurant's bowl was even better than Poke Bros. Fresh and great tasting ingredients and you can tell the bowl was loaded up with choice ingredients. I also really liked the customizations available and I took full advantage in my order. I highly recommend.

This is a small hidden gem on lake street. During the summer they were part of the options for Thursdays night out in oak Park. I love that they offer the brown sugar boba tea with tapioca. Delicious. We usually go and just get a few rolls and they are always super fresh. Made with love. This place is small but a winner.

Got a delivery. Love the leak proof packaging for the bubble teas. Got two poke bowls. The toppings are tasty but the rice portion was kinda sparse. I just spent $20 on lunch and I'm still hungry. Delivery was easy and fairly quick.

Waited 20 min for our food to be not the best. Matcha boba, not as imagined no matcha taste/ color is off. mozz in corn dogs was coagulated/ Hot Cheetos tasted stale. Ambiance is clean but smelled oily and Smokey.

This location is pretty central to the downtown area of Oak Park by the Harlem train stop. There is a pretty decent sized menu for tea options with a variety of base tea flavors and add-in's. They do have no-sugar/unsweet options which is a plus! The drinks have tabs to open/close so when you take them to go, you can flip it closed so it does not drip or spill on your hands or in your car. The large bubble tea cost $5.95 which came to $6.55 after tax which is relatively standard / a little on the more expensive side.

Mixed feeling about this place. I don't know if it's wo is working in the kitchen when I order or what. So.e times it is great and other times its just ok. Hit or miss place.

Are you an Tuna fan? Wow! Poke Burrito has a dish for you! Use chop sticks or grab a fork for this place. Their spicy Tuna was fantastic! Nestled on a bed of white rice, greens, cucumber and edamame you cannot go wrong with this one! The spicy tuna had a ginger sauce that was creamy, rich and just the right punch. The service was crazy fast and very friendly. The inside shop is very small but, they have nice seating on the sidewalk. One thing I LOVE about the Oak Park area! You can often sit outside in the summer. This was a trial (1/2 portion) of the regular sized dish. Part of Thursday Night Out I'm Oak Park. A great summer event held each Thursday from June to August (2023) from 5-9pm. Tickets can be purchased on Marion Street for the event on Thursday's. I highly recommend this event! What a great way to experience the tastes of Oak Park. Put Poke Burrito on your list of places to eat while you are here, be it during the even or not. This is a very popular location on Lake St across from the theater.

Just had the most delicious dinner! The Jimmy's creation bowl was huge, but I finished and stopped just short of licking the bowl clean. It is a massive amount of food, but it's all good for you, tasted amazing, and doesn't feel heavy. The perfect combo of characteristics! The jasmine green bubble tea is delicious too! Not too sweet and the combo of jasmine and green tea is refreshing. I ordered online and my food was ready when I got there 15mins later. Super easy!

This place is awesome and the food travels really well for take out! For example, the ramen broth is separated from all of the other ingredients to prevent sogginess. Here's what I tried: Shrimp Tempura Roll - pretty classic and tasty! Tonkotsu Ramen - Really comforting and delicious! It's definitely got a kick to it (which I'm normally too much of a baby to handle) but I appreciated that the spiciness didn't overwhelm the dish - it was still very flavorful! Jimmy's Creation Bowl - this is the best poke bowl I've ever had! There are sooo many different fresh, delicious ingredients that come together beautifully to create a super well rounded dish! Icing on the cake - for a limited time, you get a gift card to a local book store when you order one sushi roll and one ramen. I think this is such an awesome way for one local business to support another! Overall, I'm a big fan of this restaurant's food and mission!

Good Poke place. The space is small so you're going to fill out an order sheet instead of looking at everything and pointing to what you want. They will prepare it in the back and bring you a finished product so there's no opportunity to say "that looks good, can I have a little more" or "I think I'll pass on X" once you see it.

Terrible food quality, literally had to spit out fish scale pieces after few bites, portions are ridiculously small.

First time trying poke bowl and first time trying this place. I don't know what I was expecting. I got this as take out/delivery. Ordering online was easy and came super fast given how close this restaurant is to where I was. There menu has creations you can choose from or you can make your own bowl. The topping choices was extensive, so many options. I'm a big eel fan, wish that was a protein option, but I got the salmon, tuna, and imitation crab. I got the spicy tuna and thought it was tuna chunk marinated in a spicy sauce, but it's was like a puréed, which I was a bit disappointed about. I got the volcano sauce. The amount of sauce was appropriate, not overpowering. Presentation was beautiful. Wish I added on a drink to complete this meal. All in all I enjoyed it a lot and recommend.

Didn't like poke until I tried it here. Tuna and salmon are very fresh! I love being able to create your own bowl of mixings. Every bite is filled with flavors and I just love it! I've come back lots and might just get it tomorrow! My special mix: White rice Salmon and tuna Avocado Cucumber Edamame Pretty much all the crunchy toppings Green onion Spicy mayo dressing

After having a sushi burrito I am forever changed! I came across Poké Burrito while out in Oak Park visiting family. I was looking for something that healthier than the option my family had chosen for lunch. Poké Burrito is located right across the street from the movie theater so it is hard to miss. I would recommend ordering ahead of time because due to COVID they are not allowing people in the restaurant and have setup up a service window style pickup model. They require you to order through the various food delivery services or from their website because they are not doing ad hoc ordering. I was at the hangry stage of hunger so waiting those extra 10-15 mins felt like a lifetime so don't be like me. Lucky for me the employee at the restaurant was able to get my food made sooner than the estimated 30 min wait time I was given when placing my order. Ordering ahead of time will also help you reduce your wait time because they seemed to be extremely busy. From the short time I waited they had at least 10 people come and go for food. Due to my hunger I accidentally ordered the sushi burrito instead of the poke bowl. That mistake was the best thing to happen because I never understood the concept of a sushi burrito. Of course it was delicious! It is just a massive sushi roll but you get to brag about how you are eating a sushi bowl. I easily got two meals out of it like most burritos I eat. The ingredients tasted fresh and the burrito was hot as messy as I expected. I would highly recommend visiting Sushi Burrito especially if you are looking to change things up.

We enjoyed some really fantastic ramen, spicy tuna rolls, and two types of vegetarian rolls tonight! Pick up was super quick, ready in just 25 minutes. Packaged up well, everything looked and tasted fresh and delicious. Convenient location in downtown Oak Park. Strict COVID measures are appreciated, thank you. We had a great meal and we will definitely do this again very soon!

The other night my friends, fiancé and I decided to order some ramen, rolls and poke bowls and we we're definitely satisfied!! I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was pretty flavorful. Not my favorite but I definitely finished the bowl lol! My fiancé got the spicy miso chicken ramen and absolutely loved it. Next time I need to try a poke bowl because my friend loveeeeeeeed it. She said it was the best poke bowl she's ever had. The sushi rolls were super fresh and delicious! Also, they had a deal where you buy a ramen and a roll, you get a $10 gift card for the local bookstore down the street. The owner spent his whole $1800 stimulus check on gift cards at the local shop to hand out to his customers. Super thoughtful!

This place is one of my favorites! The food is always fresh and delicious. The Boba is also delicious. My husband and I usually order this on Uber Eats and its just as delicious. We highly recommend!!

Typically I'm very patient, but this was not the move. My partner and I visited this place and we both had terrible experiences. We were left waiting 15+ minutes. A couple who got there after us got their order before us. My partner finally asked about our food. And turns out, that the receipt was on the floor and was totally missed. The cherry on top was when we got our food, they messed up our orders. We ordered brown rice but was given white rice. The food was decent, but I would not recommend if you want something quick to eat. Maybe order ahead to go for efficiently. Not sure if they would make it correctly though.

FUTOMAKI FUSION Combining fresh Asian ingredients in a convenient Latin format, you get the best of both worlds. I first heard about this fun 'crossover' restaurant in Oak Park during a Thursday Night Out event. Poke Burrito has only had their doors open since June 2018 but they've attracted plenty of business with their quirky, Sushi House-meets-Chipotle vibes. For some, the big draw are their poke bowls ($7 for a small, $10 for a medium) that can be built yourself with a wide variety of toppings. Personally, I'm more of a handheld sandwich type of guy, so I opt for the burrito ($13) that's bound together by nori instead of a tortilla. Jimmy's Creation features salmon, cucumber, edamame, pineapple, sesame seeds, mandarin oranges, ginger and special sauce. The 'Hawaiian' comes with tuna, avocado, seaweed salad, green onions and a honey wasabi drizzle. They've also got veggie-only options. The restaurant is brightly lit and has complimentary cucumber water for customers. Employees have been pretty cool even when understaffed, and food generally comes out fairly quickly. Prices are fair, considering the portion size and quality of contents. Oh, and their rolled ice cream treats ($6.25) are fantastic. The cookies 'n cream flavor is all well and good, but the pina colada (pineapple + shredded coconut) was outstanding. At more than six bucks, it's a bit on the steep end though still worth trying once. * TL;DR * Sometimes fusion places are a roll of the dice, fortunately Poke Burrito got it right. Their sushi bowls are a fan favorite and every wrap I've gotten here has been absolutely terrific. Be prepared for a deliciously messy affair if you order the latter. Highly recommended by me and Nichole C; this is quickly becoming one of our go-to businesses in Oak Park. Big stamp of approval from yours truly!

Insanely delicious. Do you like sushi? Poke? Burritos? This place is the trifecta of those things. Bursting with freshness & flavor. Definitely a bit pricey but worth it. Our fav spot to swing by when hungry & in the area.

My favorite poke restaurant! Pre covid, I often ate inside. The atmosphere is modern, fresh, and clean. So glad they're doing takeout/delivery during covid. Their fish mmmm is fresh, unlimited sides (including edamame and seaweed salad!), and great portions for a reasonable price. Definitely stop by!

Despite the construction on Lake Street, it really was an easy process for picking up the food after I placed an order in over the phone. They had all of the orders ready to pick up right when you opened the door; you just had to reach in and pick up the one with your name. I got the Spicy Tuna bowl and enjoyed it! I loved the sauces they had in the bowl and it was a good amount for someone who likes things ~saucy~. My only two complaints were I felt like I got the tiniest amount of tuna for the size of the bowl and the pieces of cucumber were massive! I wish I got a lot more tuna to balance out all the other components of the bowl and that the cucumber was more manageable.

UPDATED REVIEW: it has been over a year since I wrote my last review, and I can confidently say that this place has improved significantly. It is now one of our "regularly spots and the portions and flavors are great. AC issue has been resolved. PRIOR REVIEW: 3 stars, Incredibly slow service, but I imagine it's because the chefs are taking the time to make each bowl beautiful - the ingredients are not simply placed into the bowl, but they are really organized quite beautifully. The taste is amazing, but like the other reviewers here, they kind of skimp out on the amount of actual fish they give you. This is the most expensive poke place I've been to in all of Chicagoland, so for the price you would expect more fish. Also - big concern - TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE STORE!! It is beyond uncomfortable (and feels unsanitary) to be sitting and eating raw fish in an 85 degree, hot & humid, crowded restaurant.

I was ready to give this place a much lower rating but after I inhaled the poke bowl, I reconsidered. I finally decided to give this place a try but I definitely chose the wrong day. I walked in right after a very long shift at work on a Sunday night (9/26/21) and let me tell you.... it was a HOT mess. It took a good 5-10 minutes before someone to notice me and help me at the register. If you've been here before, you know it's hard NOT to notice anyone upfront because it's a pretty small place. However, I gave it some time because I can see everyone sweating and busting their asses off in the back... not to mention their online orders and phone calls were ringing off the hook. It was obviously extremely busy for them so I was patient... extremely patient because I just came from my shift at CVS so I definitely know how it feels to be on the other side. Now, I could've easily walked out and ordered food elsewhere but I was tired and hungry so I settled. After waiting almost 40 minutes, though, I started to regret it. While waiting and observing, it was clear that there was no structure in place nor were they prepared for a rush like this. I'm not sure if he was the owner or a manager but an older Asian man started to take charge up front but IMO he wasn't helping make things better. You can hear the frustration in his voice by the way he was talking to his team members and cursing under his breath. Not a good look to customers honestly. He even started turning away walk-ins because they were that backed up. Instead, I personally thought he should've turned off the online orders a long time ago. When I finally got to dig into my poke bowl, my hangry-ness quickly went away. It was a lot more tasty than I expected! I also ordered an earl grey milk tea boba which also surprised me too. Good enough. Would I come back? Yes, but maybe not during a crazy rush like that!

I ordered the large and was expecting the old large, not the small that they now call large they could have kept the same sizes and just upped the prices instead of making people (me) believe that the only size they have that's "large" is not large it's the old small. I loved this place. I guess all good things come to an end.... Sad. I do think it taste good though so... I just want my old big bowl back.

Not great. I ordered the spicy tuna bowl and was disappointed to find that instead of being cubed, as is traditional, the fish was more minced like one might find in a spicy tuna roll. When I mixed everything together, it definitely felt light on the fish overall. There were plenty of filling items, but I would suggest they cut smaller pieces of cucumber, they were large and distracting. Overall, my meal wasn't bad, it just was disappointing.

Amazing ! My burrito broke because I put way too many things about it but I wouldn't change a thing. I ended up eating it with chopsticks instead but it was delicious and i would do it again! A small spot but very cute and modern inside. I enjoyed sitting and people watching while I was eating.

Nothing notable worth applauding here. Went twice and won't be back. Quality isn't there, small portions, TIPS DONT GO TO EMPLOYEES, and very inconsistent for this place. It's unfortunate because I live down the street. Loss of business

Love love love Poke Burrito! We order at least 2-3X per month for the family. I always make my own bowl and it tastes so yummy. Hubby loves their salmon obsession bowl. My sister enjoys making her own bowl as well. The awesome thing is if you order on their website and have an account, you get $5 off after certain amount of purchases. Pickup is safe and easy. It's right at the door and labeled for pickup, uber, etc. so it's clear and no interaction with anyone.

One of my favorite places to order from for lunch! So fresh and sooooooo good! Highly recommend!

We got the spicy tuna poke bowl, salmon obsession burrito, and miso soup. The poke bowl had way too much ginger, which overwhelmed the other flavors. I was able to pick some of it out but not all of it. Other than the ginger, the rest of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The bowl was also a generous amount that could easily be eaten over several meals. The salmon burrito was my favorite food item. It was stuffed to the brim with ingredients and it all tasted fresh and flavorful. My only issue was that the ingredients inside were not evenly distributed so eat bite was very different, some with only rice and others exploding with flavors. The miso soup was very underwhelming. It didn't taste like anything but was quite plain instead. Overall the burrito is definitely their best item.

The food was amazing! It came out after just seven minutes and everything was delicious. The servers were kind and made the experience wonderful! They even gave us a coupon with our meal.

Place was poppin when I came so I took my burrito home to eat since there was nowhere to sit. I got a house creation (the Hawaiian or something like that) and when I opened it, my first thought was, "Where's the tuna?" You can peep my photo but for $14 that's kind of ridiculous that you get skimped on the main component. Flavors were right on but I hardly tasted the tuna. If they put less of the other filling and more of the tuna, it'd actually be perfect and I could justify that as worth $14. The bowls look like they might be of better value and the rolled ice cream looks delicious so I'll probably be back but I hope they're a little more generous with the fish next time.

Oak Park got another great food choice, and I'm happy with another reason to stay in town. This is how I recommend creating your poké burrito: it's about fresh taste, tender fish, and crunch. Choose the vegetables that you know personally refreshes your palette. When you select your protein, you can either go marinated or raw. I recommend going raw because later you can choose your sauce. Then there's the crunch. Select that! Have fun with creating your own. It isn't overwhelming and the staff is friendly. A note on the rice: though brown rice is "healthier" than white, when you eat it as a burrito it'll be drier! Avoid dry mouth.

When I first got there my food was sitting on rack in front of the door, it was the coolest no contact delivery I've seen so far! I had a Poke burrito with salmon and tuna and it was AWESOME! I Was skeptical at first because I thought it might be too fishy for me as some sushi has been in the past but it wasn't! It was PERFECT! Definitely recommend you try it.

Ordered a Poke bowl and it was delicious! Only reason I rated it a 4 was due to the price that I was not expecting.

This review is only based on their boba tea bc that's all I tried. If you want boba/bubble tea come here! Lots of options and the ones I've tried and all yummy. Nice service.

Best poke around. Always fresh. Great variety to choose from. Highly recommend this place.

Awesome food and service! Their jasmine green tea is one of the best ones I've had and their vegan poke bowl was on point from the tasty tofu to the ginger added on top.

I discovered this spot on google and was super happy to try their food. I love Poke bowls and the online ordering feature is super easy. I order and get alerts that say you order is ready. I double park in front and the bag is waiting. The COVID virus has changed eating out but this restaurant does it the right way but no contact and great packaging. BUT the FOOD! really fresh and really tasty. I love the sushi rice, shrimp, spicy tuna, avocado with spicy mayo. I ate this 3 days in a row, I loved it so much!

Food was really good and fresh! Mine was a bit overdressed with what seemed to be some sort of ginger dressing. It stung my nose with every bite and was a bit uncomfortable to be honest I couldn't finish it :/ but the flavor was there. The girl in the front was also probably having a bad day..I could tell upon being greeted and when others came in.

I love the crazy roll w/ spicy mayo, the tempura sweet potato rolls, & the spicy tuna rolls! It's so fresh, fast, & customer service is great!

Consistent, great quality poke. One of my favorite spots to eat in Oak Park!

Very clean. Fresh ingredients. Pleasant and fast service. BYOB! I usually pick up. The space is pretty small. I don't recommend big groups. Price is good for what you get. Other places charge more and are stingy with ingredients, especially proteins.

+ good location + fresh ingredients (except canned fruit which was pretty disappointing) + only poke place around here + photogenic - small portion - overpriced - limited seating - loud We got a burrito and a bowl. My bowl was missing avocados. I get they were busy but it was one of the main ingredients. The sizes were way too small to be $13 each. I had to go get a sandwich from Potbelly afterwards. The location is good and there aren't other poke/sushi burrito options in Oak Park but it's more worth it to drive farther and go somewhere with better taste and price. Not impressed. I'm sure they'll still do well since the food is trendy and Instragramable.

Always a great Oak Park option. Ingredients are fresh, staff is friendly, and they have something for everyone. The bowls are our favorite!
